Last week we lost a large chunk of revenue when a client switched to a new services provider.  Today, it appears that client may be coming back into the fold with a big project in tow.  Also, we received a PO from a new client and a surprise opportunity just came our way.

In the span of 24 hours these new opportunities grew to be approximately 1/4 of the revenue we did in all of 2007.

We could not have predicted any of this and none of it is certain.  The swings in potential revenue wreck havoc with the best laid plans of the small business owner.  Navigating through these tough times with opportunities that come and go so quickly requires intestinal fortitude or blissful ignorance.

I’m hoping I can stay blissfully ignorant.  Intestinal fortitude is overrated.
